Hello ChimeraCaribou, welcome to drawabox. Congratulations on finishin lesson 1.
Lines - your superimposed lines seem to waver like you are trying to correct yourself as you are making the line. Remember, confidence > accuracy. Just let your arm be loose and go with the flow, right now it is all about learning to draw from your shoulder. Your ghosted lines seem good. Your ghosted planes also seem good. Remember that overshooting/undershooting is normal for now.
Ellipses - Tables of ellipses seem fine, just be sure that you are drawing through your ellipses 2-3 times and that the ellipses fit snuggly in the tables. Your ellipses in planes seem fine, just remember to try and shoot for the ellipse to touch all four edges of the plane. Your funnels seem fine just try to vary the degree as you move out from the center.
Boxes - In rough perspective, not all the boxes are sealed off completely, be sure to not rush through the exercises and to take your time as you work tyhrough the course. For rotated boxes you are missing several boxes, but I am most concerned with the ones in the corners.
Next Steps:
Rotated boxes with completed corners

awesome! you're set to move forward. Just remember for rotated boxes you should add hatching lines to the parts of the faces you can see for every box.
Next Steps:

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
